Road accidentsPedestrian accident claims“Why me?”
That’s the question we hear most often from pedestrians who were going about their usual daily routine, only to have their lives turned upside down as a result of a serious injury that wasn’t their fault.
If you or someone you know has been seriously injured as a pedestrian in a road accident, we understand that you’ve probably experienced a huge range of emotions.

Compensation is important. But it’s not just about your financial needs. Settlement needs to take account of all the physical and emotional support you need in the short-term, as well as the challenges you may face long into the future.
At Serious Law, we’re dedicated to helping you with every aspect of your claim and your recovery.
We'll come to visit you anywhere in the country, at times that suit you. We arrange not only your immediate financial support, but we also set up bespoke private medical care and rehabilitation.
We get to know you and your family and we draw on our experience of working with other seriously injured adults and children to ensure that we introduce the right specialists to you at the right time.
For example, when the time is right, we’ll help you to source custom aids and adaptations to reduce the impact of your injury on the rest of your life.
Cases involving pedestrians are amongst the most challenging, both emotionally and from a legal perspective – that’s why it’s essential to get a solicitor with the right experience on your side from the start.
Serious Law has been working on serious injury cases involving pedestrians for over 25 years, and we have a proud track record of winning significant compensation awards for our clients.
We regularly take on pedestrian injury cases abandoned by other law firms, when our expert understanding of the nuances of complex cases, together with our trusted, long-standing relationships with some of the UK’s leading forensic and accident reconstruction experts, allows us to achieve a successful outcome.
To give you an example of our work, in a recent child pedestrian case involving significant injuries, the Serious Law team successfully introduced evidence from a UK expert in road transport safety and an accident reconstruction specialist from a leading firm of consulting scientists and engineers.
By doing so, we were able to successfully challenge the data contained within the police technical report, examine the relationship between the speed of the car and the injuries suffered, and we achieved a result which was far beyond the initial expectations of our client’s family.
In most cases, starting from the date of the accident, there is a three year time limit to make a personal injury claim, however there are some circumstances where this time limit may be extended. Seeking specialist advice early will enable your solicitor to collate all the necessary evidence for your claim whilst the accident/incident is fresh in the minds of the injured party and any witnesses.
If you've been involved in a pedestrian accident, you may be asking yourself; is it my fault? Am I partly to blame? In some cases, it may not be immediately clear who was at fault. It is important to discuss your situation with a specialist to find out the best way to move forward, as you may have a case. Our firm specialises in complex accident cases and difficult liability situations. We have helped many clients who questioned whether they had a case, we can do the same for you.
A child, defined as a person aged under 18, is unable to bring a claim on their own. Children require a ‘Litigation Friend’ to instruct solicitors to carry out litigation on their behalf. It is commonly parents or a close friend who will claim on their behalf. Once you have appointed your solicitor, you will need to decide who is best placed for this role. Your solicitor will explain the duties of a Litigation Friend and help you decide who is best placed to do the job. Find out more about making serious injury claims for children.
Evidence is an important part of a personal injury claim, therefore collating evidence of the injuries and losses you have suffered as a result of your accident will help your solicitor maximise your compensation. If possible, some items of evidence which will be helpful for your claim include; photos of the accident scene, names and contact details of any witnesses and receipts of any costs incurred following the incident. Our specialist serious injury solicitors will be able to advise you on what you will need to achieve a successful outcomeand will take a forensic approach to developing all aspects of your case. We have developed strong and trusted relationships with some of the UK’s leading medical experts and accident investigators. This enables us to strengthen the evidence in our client's cases and consistently achieve the best outcome for our clients by securing them the highest level of compensation, and putting in place everything they might need for the future.
